“With the availability of Splunk Cloud via SaaS Contracts on AWS
Marketplace, existing AWS customers can more easily get started with
Splunk to gain end-to-end visibility across their AWS infrastructure”

The University
of San Francisco (USF) is home to an innovative academic community
of more than 12,000 students, faculty and staff. “As a higher education
institution, USF prides itself on being at the forefront of technology,
which is why we turned to Splunk and AWS,” Opinder Bawa, vice president
of information technology and chief information technology officer,
University of San Francisco. “Ensuring the privacy of student, faculty
and staff data is of critical importance. Adopting Splunk has enabled
our small IT team to protect against increasingly sophisticated threats.
The availability of Splunk Cloud on AWS Marketplace will make it even
easier and faster to enhance the security of our entire AWS environment.
This visibility is essential to our digital transformation journey.”

AWS
Marketplace streamlines customer adoption of technology such as
Splunk Cloud via a consolidated purchase environment and integration
with their AWS accounts, which have terms already established. AWS
Marketplace SaaS Contracts simplifies the process even further by
enabling customers to prepay for Splunk Cloud based on expected usage
tiers through contracts up to one year in length. The Splunk Cloud cost
is integrated into the customer’s AWS bill once they subscribe,
resulting in a consolidated, easy to process bill. By the end of the
first half of 2017, Splunk will offer term-based pricing for extended
contract terms for up to three years in length, offering specific
discounts for longer contract duration purchases.

“Splunk is an innovative software platform that many of our customers
rely on to drive efficiency and visibility across their entire
infrastructure, and now customers will be able to purchase multi-year
SaaS contracts through AWS Marketplace for the first time,” said Dave
McCann, vice president of AWS Marketplace & Catalog Services, Amazon Web
Services, Inc. “Our customers want easy-to-deploy SaaS solutions like
Splunk Cloud to drive data-driven operational efficiencies and speed
innovation, with the long-term contracts now possible via AWS
Marketplace, they can experience even greater cost savings.”

“With the availability of Splunk Cloud via SaaS Contracts on AWS
Marketplace, existing AWS customers can more easily get started with
Splunk to gain end-to-end visibility across their AWS infrastructure,”
said Susan St. Ledger, chief revenue officer, Splunk. “By offering
support for SaaS Contracts on AWS Marketplace at launch, we are excited
to collaborate with AWS on this latest go-to-market method for bringing
Splunk Cloud to the 100,000 current active buyers, and the growing
customer base AWS Marketplace is building.”
